I have a Honda four wheeler 450. Would that be big enough to pull one out? I also have a big wood chopper and he would be a big help too.

"football05" Wrote:They reproduce like rabbits lol...How long does it take an mamma elk to her her foal/baby?

An elks' pregnancy will last between 245-255 days and some as late as 270 days. Elk can breed at 18 months old and unlike deer rarely ever have more than one calf.

According to several Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife officials, the elk are reproducing at an unexpected rate. However, there will never be an open hunting season for elk but the plan is to eventually have a large enough population to give out 1,600 permits.

Of course, my husband would love to hunt them...

My Mom works at Alice Lloyd College and she see's them everyday. A few minles before you get to the college there is an old coal tipple where National Mines used to be in operation they are out every evening she says. I went to a Christmas dinner at the college Sunday and got to see them, I'd say there was 25-30 grazing beside the road. That's probably a good place to go if you don't want to get out of your car. Just be careful and drive slow if you go there, they're huge and she says they stand in the middle of the road sometimes.
